My teacher, my practice

My teacher Roger Hotalen has been a tremendous blessing in my life during a time of great transition. His TCC instruction helped me gain the confidence and courage to change jobs and relocate from California to Washington. I used TCC prior to my job interview. While standing in a quiet place beneath beautiful trees, I used the methods that Roger taught me to remain focused during my interview. I maintained a state of calm throughout the interview process and sure enough, got the job.

I also used TCC while vacationing this summer. Many travelers were frantic due to airport shutdowns and planes with mechanical failures causing many delays. To avoid this chaotic energy, I found the only private place in the airport (a restroom stall) and practiced my TCC, remaining calm and centered in a stressful environment. What a super tool this is!

Roger is very devoted to his students, always encouraging them to be consistent with practice and to get a “feel” for the amazing energy of TCC. His zest for life overflows into the individuals he teaches. He has forever made a difference in my life.
